The Writers Guild of America has resolved its dispute with Constantin Film over foreign residuals and contributions to WGA benefits, and guild members now have the go-ahead to resume working with the indie production company behind such movies as the “Resident Evil” franchise.
As part of the deal, Constantin has agreed to pay $1.1 million in residuals that are owed to writers.
The news was announced Thursday by WGA West President Meredith Stiehm, Vice President Michele Mulroney and Secretary-Treasurer Betsy Thomas in a member email, a copy of which was viewed by TheWrap.
“Constantin Film Development (Constantin) has reached an agreement with the guild regarding the payment of foreign residuals and pension and health contributions,” the letter said.
